Description

How China’s “sharp power” is muting criticism abroad and stealthily trying to shape public opinion in its favour. What does it aim to achieve and what shall we do about it?

On January 20th, Sat, 16:30-18:00 at Pier 7 Cafe (Upper Deck, Pier 7 (Star Ferry), Central), The Economist Club will hold a discussion on this topic and more — come and share your opinion on this issue!

It's free to participate, but we would order a drink as a courtesy to the venue.

Meeting Format:

First we meet and introduce ourselves. After sharing our initial thoughts on the topic, we begin a free-flowing discussion for about an hour before splitting into sub-groups of 3-5 people for more detailed discussions. Questions, new paths for discussions, personal experience, and opinions are highly encouraged. We conclude the event with everyone sharing their takeaways on the subject.
